First Turners Falls Forum Draws a Crowd

More than 100 members of the public gathered on Tuesday night to express opinions and show support for their respective sides during the first school board open forum on the Turners Falls High School Indian mascot.

The meeting was at times tense, but mostly cordial between those who wanted to keep and those who wanted to get rid of the school’s mascot. It has come under fire in recent months by some area residents. The school board passed a review process in late September, and these forums are the first part of the process.
